WRBA Memory Button String



"The memorial charm string started at our 1st breakfast was so symbolic of WRBA. As WRBA threads us together across our geographical boundaries, this string honors, beyond time, those who lived in the past and nurtured us, if not directly, by radiation of kindness through others."

In 2003, we asked a representative from each area to choose a name. Alaska, Canada, and Wyoming had no loses to memorialize. For future shows, any collector from the wrba territory who was an influence on you in the hobby can be added to the memory string. Bring the button to the breakfast and let Gil Biggie know the name so that a tag can be made for the button.
